Gigi Hadid is in the U.K. prepping for a massive launch of the Fall 2017 line from Tommy X Gigi. While there, she stopped by the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw on Tuesday morning. Joined by Tommy Hilfiger, Gigi got grilled by Nick in a quiz game based on Zayn Malik’s northern accent. The host played clips of common northern English phrases for Gigi to decipher.

She fared pretty well, offering up the “California girl” translations to prove she’s a good listener. While she’s obviously been trying to Americanize Zayn, it seems like their cross-Atlantic relationship has them both rubbing off on each other. She’s even learning how to cook a proper English roast.

Harry Styles has been teasing his debut solo single lately. As he prepares for his appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” Harry stopped by the BBC Radio 1 studios to co-host an episode of Nicholas Grimshaw’s show. The episode will air on Friday and serve as the world premiere of Harry’s single, “Sign of the Times.”

Harry recorded a promo promising to give fans the first listen to the song on Friday during the 8AM GMT broadcast. The One Direction singer will then hang out for most of the morning as Nicholas plays two hours of the three-hour interview he’s already conducted with Harry.

The news has England all shook up. Another presenter on BBC Radio 1 started taking calls from “unexpected” Harry fans. One caller was a self-described “manly man” who thinks Harry’s stuff will be better than Zayn Malik’s–which, for him, means it’ll also be better than Niall Horan’s.

See Harry in the studio below, plus hear some clips of Harry and a fan amping up this Friday. Anyone who misses Harry’s Friday interview will have a chance to catch him on BBC Radio 2’s “Saturday Breakfast Show” with Dermot O’Leary.
